I just installed arch linux on a dual boot with my ubuntu installation, but now, every time I boot, arch says the file system check failed and it asks me for my root password. I didn't set one, and it asks me to either enter the password, or press Ctrl+D to continue. I press the key combination, it simply reboots. I tried to check the file system manually from ubuntu, and it passed the check fine, so what do I do? I can't boot into arch. Thanks!

You can skip check of FS on start of your sustem just go to /etc/fstab , locate your partion and change last 1 to 0 .

I don't think to avoid fsck checking would be the best idea, if the system decides so! Is your fstab really okay ?

Sounds to me like something in your /etc/fstab might be invalid.
Mount your arch partition from ubuntu and give us arch's /etc/fstab as well.

Installation using 2000.08 cd gives the above layout. However, the 2009.02 cd gives in UUID in which I had no problem at all.
My temporary solution: I keep on rebooting until it can mount

I posted about a similar issue in this thread. Short and sweet: try adding a delay to your /etc/rc.sysinit before the fsck and see if that helps.
